Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

“My lord, if you did not mind my rudeness, where is our young miss! Lady Natalie?” Hazel frowned when she turned to stare at Rafael as if trying to ask what the man was talking about!

Hadn’t Natalie left for the palace a night ago, she should have already reached her since the attack of the witches took a long time to reach them here.

“How would I know? The lady was not satisfied that I am traveling without escorts and said that she would rather travel with her knights to be on the safer side!” he shrugged as if he was helpless against her tantrums but then signed!

“It was a good thing since the witches had come to personally welcome me. I must say that they have hidden themselves well or else you would have already gotten rid of them like I have asked for, right?” Though Rafael chuckled softly at the end of his words, even a fool could see that it was filled with sarcasm.

But it was still better than the allegation he could put on them. Though they have the status of a noble and have their own lands, he was the emperor who could kill any of them in the name of treason and no one would be able to raise a finger against him.

He fell on his knees without wasting time and bowed his head hurriedly,_.

“My lord, I apologize for the felony. I would personally go and check the town again!

But as you know that humans are not that proficient in recognizing witches, so, I request help from the empire.

I will try to serve them best!” though he asked for apology, he simply but the blame of their incompetence on their being human. They would not be punished for being human. Could they?

“It is alright, I will handle this matter personally once the route is open again!” with a soft and warm smile on his face he nodded his head and started walking again.

If anyone would look at him, they would be reminded of the early morning warm sun, glowing and warm but they forgot that the sun could burn anyone to ashes when they tried to go closer to him.

The butler followed them in with all the other servants. The count was waiting for them in the hall already.

He stood up and walked towards them as soon as he saw them with a bright smile on his face. His face turned sour when he saw the way Rafael was holding hands of hazel.

He had expected that his daughter would be in place. But he hid those intentions and brought another flattering smile to replace his ugly mood.

“My lord! It is an honor to see you personally! I was not expecting you to come too soon. A convoy would have been sufficient or you could have called me!

I am hurt thinking how much trouble you have taken for a simple treaty!” Hazel rolled her eyes and finally learnt why Rafael was so dramatic!

It must be the custom of the empire to behave like that only! But she did not like the way the man was looking at her with his head raised high as if she was something filthy to look upon. She had seen the look more than enough time during her marriage and she utterly detest it!

“If you were so worried then you should have come personally and signed the deal instead of sending your daughter in the first place.

If I did not know any better I would have thought that she was going to take over your title instead of you having two sons or..

You have selected her personally instead of your sons so that she could seduce my husband!

Well! At least I know that the count would never try such a thing! After all, he is a man of respect!” the man turned red and blue with humiliation and even after trying so hard his true feelings, his face turned ugly!

He looked like he had eaten a rotten egg that he could neither nibble or spit out!

He continued to stare at the girl with the intent to kill! How dare she speak that way with a count when she was just an illegitimate child of the enemy empire.

Just wait and see! Once people would forget about her and peace would be all around, she would die a miserable death by the hand of the vampire she was clutching too due to her big mouth!

His hands clenched into a fist as he brought a smile on his face and then spoke in a soft voice,

“I sent her because I am trying to hone her skills in the business field. I am not partial between my son and daughter. I apologize my lady, if her presence had given you any inconvenience!

I will personally discipline her in this case and would send her to apologize to you and my lord personally!” That meant she had to see more of her face and bear her smile that was as fake as yours!

She wanted to shout that but stayed silent as she had already tested waters more than enough. A little more slippery and she would drown in the lake without a trace!

“No! Of course, not! Your daughter was as silent as a mouse that we even forget that she was present on the dinner table.

So, she did not need to apologize to us! In fact, thank her in my stead.

Because of her presence, my wife seems to be coming closer to me! I must say, your daughter has helped us a lot in coming closer.

So, let her off the hook. Instead, I want to discuss the deal as soon as possible and get my control on the route!

So, if you want we can sign the deal right away and save each other’s time!”
